Charles Baudelaire Quote

Bajo una luz ya mortecinase agita y baila sin razónla Vida aullante y libertina,en tanto, lejos del turbión,se alza la noche en el confíny calma aun el hambre en torno;todo lo borra: hasta el bochorno.El Poeta se dice: «¡Al fin!»Mi alma, al igual que mi espinazo,reposo con ardor reclama,sueño fúnebre que me pueblas.»Me tenderé sobre la camarevoleándome en vuestro abrazo,¡oh, refrigerantes tinieblas!».

About Charles Baudelaire

Charles Pierre Baudelaire (UK: , US: ; French: [ʃaʁl(ə) bodlɛʁ] ; 9 April 1821 – 31 August 1867) was a French poet who also worked as an essayist, art critic and translator. His poems are described as exhibiting mastery of rhyme and rhythm, containing an exoticism inherited from Romantics, and are based on observations of real life.
His most famous work, a book of lyric poetry titled Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), expresses the changing nature of beauty in the rapidly industrialising Paris caused by Haussmann's renovation of Paris during the mid-19th century. Baudelaire's original style of prose-poetry influenced a generation of poets including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé. He coined the term modernity (modernité) to designate the fleeting experience of life in an urban metropolis, and the responsibility of artistic expression to capture that experience. Marshall Berman has credited Baudelaire as being the first Modernist.
